Before using for the first time
∙ Unpack the appliance and remove
all internal and external packaging
materials and promotional stickers etc.
Clean the appliance (see Cleaning and
care).
∙ Before using the appliance for the first
time, let it heat up at maximum power for
10 minutes with both heating elements
on. When the appliance is switched on
for the first time, a slight smell may be
emitted. This is normal and will only last
for a very short time. For that reason,
adequate ventilation should be ensured
by opening windows or balcony doors.

to the desired time setting.
∙ After the pre-programmed time has
elapsed, an acoustic signal indicates
that the heating elements are switched
off.
Timer light ring
The light ring lights up while the appliance
is switched on. It goes out once the pre-
programmed time has elapsed, or if the
switch is turned back its OFF position.
Rotating spit
∙ When the food to be cooked is put onto
the spit, make sure that it does not come
into contact with the upper or lower
heating elements; ensure sufficient
distance.
∙ When loading the rotating spit, do not
exceed 3 kg.
∙ Pierce the food to be cooked on the spit,
making sure that the spit goes through
the middle. This is to ensure that the
food does not go to near the interior
walls or the heating elements. Use the
holding clamps to secure the food in the
centre of the spit.
∙ Any parts sticking out (e.g. wings of a
chicken) should be held in with a tooth-

means. This ensures that no part of the
